Austin is consistently ranked as one of the top five American cities for singles; we are a rapidly growing, economic hub of food, music, and culture - we are a social community. MUDMATCH promises a "meet in the mud" atmosphere where singles - and couples - can combine their affinity for socializing with their love of mudding. Take a three-and-a-half mile obstacle course - add live music, food, and a bustling social atmosphere - and you have the newest, and fastest, growing sensation in mudding. MUDMATCH is a socially oriented race that caters to locals looking to met both friends and matches.

MUDMATCH Austin kicks off at 9am with DJ OG Sprocket; a new heat takes the course every 30 minutes and in the interim, attendees can challenge their foes to a game of UBERPONG, mud volleyball, or tug-of-war. Austin powerhouse, Quiet Company, will rock the stage in the afternoon as the festival party commences with drinks, costume contests, and prizes.
